A master's final chapter, steeped in Zen.
This teapot carries the mark of Gu Jingzhou, one of the most celebrated Yixing masters of the 20th century, making it a true collector's treasure. Created in 1993 and inscribed with the poetic seal 'Seeking Seclusion at Jingshan,' it reflects the deeply personal, almost spiritual relationship these master craftsmen had with their work. The inscription 'Teapot That' hints at a Zen-like philosophy — the idea that a great teapot transcends mere function and becomes something harder to define, yet deeply felt.

Gu Jingzhou (1915–1996) is often called the 'Sage of Yixing' — his teapots are so revered that a single piece can sell for millions at auction, rivaling fine art masterworks.
